خريج كلية الطب في باريس ويعتبر أبا طب الأطفال في إيران.
حياته وإنجازاته
ولد الطبيب محمد غريب في قرية غركان (آشتيان)، مقاطعة تفرش في إيران، يوم 5 يوليو سنة 1909.
بعد إتمامه الدراسة الثانوية عام 1927، انتقل إلى مدينة ريمس بفرنسا حيث درس في كلية الطب هناك مدة عامين، دخل بعدهما كلية الطب في باريس. وكطالب شرف استطاع اجتياز الامتحانات الصعبة ليحصل على منحة تدريب خارجي، ليصبح فيما بعد طبيبًا مطلوبًا ومنافسًا قويًا في مستشفى باريس. حصل على إجازة دكتور في الطب البشري سنة 1937 وبعد عام واحد من التدريب في طب الأطفال إلى جوار البروفيسور ريباديو دوما في مستشفى سالبيتريير في باريس، عاد إلى بلاده. ولدى عودته إلى إيران، عُين د. غريب من قبل الدكتور تشارلز أوبيرلينغ كأول بروفيسور في طب الأطفال ضمن جامعة طهران؛ المعلم الفرنسي الذي كان عميدًا في كلية الطب. بالتالي، أصبح د. غريب رئيس قسم طب الأطفال، المنصب الذي شغله حتى وفاته عام 1975. وسنة 1941 ألف أول كتاب دراسي فارسي في أمراض الأطفال. حرر غريب خلال مسيرته المهنية الكثير من المجلدات التي كتبت في مشاكل وتطورات طب الأطفال في إيران، ونشر العديد من المقالات المكتوبة باللغة الفارسية في الصحف الطبية الفرنسية والأمريكية، وحافظ على عيادة مزدهرة لطب الأطفال ركز فيها على حل المعضلات والحالات الإشكالية.
علّم طب الأطفال لآلاف الطلاب من المراحل الجامعية المختلفة على امتداد 37 عامًا. حصل العديد من تلامذته لاحقًا على مراكز هامة في التعليم الطبي الإيراني مثل رئاسة لجنة أغلب أقسام طب الأطفال في العديد من الكليات الطبية في إيران. ونتيجة مساعي د. غريب وتأثيره في مجاله اعتُرف بطب الأطفال كاختصاص عام 1950 وأُنشئ مجلس طب الأطفال التخصصي سنة 1955. أسس مع زملائه سنة 1960 جمعية طب الأطفال الإيرانية التي رأسها حتى عام 1970. كان عضوًا في المجلس الاستشاري للرابطة الدولية لطب الأطفال من عام 1968 وحتى 1974. وفي عام 1970 كان له دور فاعل في التخطيط والبناء لمستشفى أطفال مركزي يضم 150 سريرًا في طهران، عمل فيه مديرًا بين العامين 1971-1975.
كان غريب محترمًا ومؤثرًا ونابضًا بالحيوية ومعروفًا إلى أبعد حد بين طلابه، وكان طبيبًا رائعًا في نظر زملائه، وعرف أيضًا كطبيب متفانٍ في نظر مرضاه. ويعتبر غريب شخصية مؤثرة في الطب الإيراني الحديث وهو «أبو طب الأطفال الإيراني» في نظر المجتمع الطبي. تقديرًا لإنجازاته المؤثرة، منحته الحكومة الفرنسية صليب فارس جوقة الشرف عام 1945. وأشارت مجلة الطب الأمريكية إم. دي. في سلسلة من مقالاتها عن الأطباء البارزين حول العالم إلى د. غريب كطبيب من إيران في عددها الصادر في شهر مايو 1965. في كل عام، يحيي زملاؤه وجمعية طب الأطفال الإيرانية ندوة على مدار أسبوع بعنوان «المؤتمر التذكاري لطبيب الأطفال الدكتور غريب» كمقرر تعليمي للدراسات العليا في طب الأطفال.
خضع غريب لعملية جراحية ومعالجة شعاعية من سرطان المثانة عام 1972، ثم توفي نتيجة نكس المرض في طهران، يوم 20 يناير عام 1975.
لغريب وزوجته زهرة أربعة أطفال هم ناهد ومريم وحسين ومحسن، وعشرة أحفاد: نيلوفر وباريناز وفاطمة وآمنة ومحمد وسهيلة وياسمين وعلي ومحمود وكايميا. السيدة زهرة غريب توفيت عام 2009 ودفنت في فرجينيا. ابنه حسين اليوم طبيب غدد وصم مشهور في مستشفى مايو كلينيك في روتشستر، وابنه محسن طبيب أشعة في واشنطن، نيلوفر طبيب عيون في فيرجينيا، وحفيده محمود طبيب ومعالج فيزيائي في جامعة ميشيغان.

It is associated most commonly with congenital mutations in the fibrinogen alpha chain and classified as a dysfibrinogenemia (see Hereditary Fibrinogen Aα-Chain Amyloidosis). and, less commonly, with congenital mutations in apolipoprotein A1 and lysozyme.
It is also known as "Ostertag" type, after B. Ostertag, who characterized it in 1932 and 1950.

Martin Van Buren Bates

Martin Van Buren Bates (November 9, 1837 – January 19, 1919), known as the Kentucky Giant, was an American man notable for his great height. He was tall and weighed .
Youth and growth
Bates' growth rate jumped at the age of six or seven. At age 12 he was over tall and weighed over .
Civil War
Bates was attending university in Virginia when the Civil War broke out. He subsequently joined the 5th Kentucky Infantry Confederate States Army, later becoming a lieutenant and then captain. He was severely wounded in a battle near the Cumberland Gap and was captured and imprisoned at Camp Chase in Ohio, although he later escaped.
Adulthood and first marriage
He returned to Kentucky after the war. Before the war, his first occupation was as a schoolteacher. While the circus was on tour in Halifax, Canada, the 7-foot-11-inch tall Anna Haining Swan visited. She and Martin soon got to know each other, and were married in 1871. The highly publicized wedding, at St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London, England, drew thousands of people trying to attend, due to both the uncommonness of the spectacle and the couple's disarming good nature. Queen Victoria gave Bates an engraved watch, and gave Swan a satin gown and diamond ring.
They moved to Ohio in 1872, settling in Seville. On 19 May 1872, Anna gave birth to a daughter, who weighed and died at birth. They built a large house to accommodate themselves comfortably. Martin described the next few years in his autobiography:
Final years
Anna Bates died on August 5, 1888. Martin ordered a statue of her from Europe for her grave, sold the oversized house, and moved into the town. In 1889 he remarried, this time to a woman of typical stature, Annette LaVonne Weatherby, and lived a mostly peaceful life until his death in 1919 of nephritis. He was buried beside his first wife and their son in Seville. He is currently the tallest known person to live to at least 80 years.
Some years after his death, a family of typical heights had purchased the 14-ft ceiling home built by the giant couple. However, the original house in which he and Anna lived burnt down. Later a standard house was built on that site and eventually converted into a museum for the Seville Historical Society.

World Chess Championship 1910 (Lasker–Janowski)

World Chess Championship 1910 (Lasker–Janowski)
Emanuel Lasker faced David Janowski in the second 1910 World Chess Championship. The second of two Championship matches played in 1910 was contested from November 8 to December 8, 1910 in Berlin, Lasker successfully defending his title. In terms of the score (8 wins to Lasker, 0 wins to Janowski, 3 draws) it was the most one-sided World Chess Championship match in history.
Background
Lasker and Janowski played two exhibition matches in 1909, the first drawn (+2 -2) and the second won convincingly by Lasker (+7 =2 -1). The longer 1909 match has sometimes been called a world championship match, but research by Edward Winter indicates that the title was not at stake.
Results
The first player to win eight games would be World Champion.

It was China's sixth crewed space mission, at 33 days, it was the longest until the follow-up Shenzhou 12 mission which lasted 3 months. Two days after launch, it docked with the Tiangong-2 space laboratory, which had been launched on 15 September 2016. Shenzhou 11 was the 1st and only expedition and mission to Tiangong-2 in this portion of the Tiangong program.
Crew
The crew consisted of two taikonauts. Commander Jing celebrated his 50th birthday while in orbit.
Back-up crew

The mission's main objective was to rendezvous and dock with the Tiangong-2 space laboratory and gain experience from a 30-day residence, and to test its life-support systems.
In the two days after the launch, it changed its orbit five times to arrive 52 kilometres behind the Tiangong-2 space lab. It autonomously rendezvoused and docked with Tiangong-2 at 3:24 p.m. EDT on 18 October 2016, while both spacecraft were at an altitude of .
The crew landed successfully after the 33-day mission on 18 November 2016. The reentry module of the Shenzhou 11 spacecraft landed in Dorbod Banner, Inner Mongolia around 2:15 p.m. (China time) after undocking from the space lab on 17 November.
